What is this from?

Hello!

I started writing in earnest during NaNoWrimo of 2019, finishing my first draft the following June.

Presider Marcellio was the leader of the First Magisterial Assembly of Vera Prydd. He oversaw execution of the Hierprefect, razed the temples, codified the Immutable Laws. Like many of the early Magisters, he was executed for Superstition by the Second Assembly after the Randeri Affair

Good King Niall was a king of Vera Prydd who did much to stabilize not only the realm of Vera Prydd but the whole of the Eastern Mark. He reformed the Warden System and organized the Hightowers along the Rosi Flats

After the consolidation of the Hearthlands (shone here in its present state as the Blasted Lands) the Glaedian Emperors expanded beyond the mountains, and instituted the system of Realms and Marks, which has long survived the empire.

I'd spend hours as a kid pouring over those sorts of books, just imagining the possibilities and politics hidden beneath the various points on the maps

It wouldn't leave my head until I put pen to paper. It turned out that the boy was Petra, and the hooded figure a Magister named Cirrilo, one of the arcane rulers of Vera Prydd

Finally I had an image of a boy with burns all over his body laying on a cot in some hovel. His parents watched as a robed figure used fire and smoking rabbit's blood to force new flesh to grow.
